Cars from Europe: price with import through AutoPase vs Latvia
We compare dealer ads from Germany and other European countries — the seller's price plus import through AutoPase (a percentage of the price, the commission, delivery to Latvia and paperwork) — with the Latvian market median for the same model, year window and — when both samples are large enough — fuel.
The comparison uses the seller's price plus import through AutoPase: a percentage of the price, the commission, delivery to Latvia and paperwork. The table adds only CSDD registration €171, the first inspection €37 and first-year OCTA €100 – €180 — another €308 – €388 in total. Transport is not added twice.
Vehicle operation tax and VAT are excluded because they depend on the specific car and transaction. This is not a guaranteed saving: the table compares listing-price medians, not the condition of every car.

Frequently asked questions
What is included in «together with import through AutoPase»?
The seller's price and the import service: a percentage of the price, the AutoPase commission, delivery to Latvia and paperwork. The buyer then budgets for CSDD registration, the first inspection and OCTA.
Is a car from Germany always cheaper?
No. The second table shows models whose median of the seller's price plus import and mandatory costs is not below the Latvian median in the comparable year and fuel group.
